Background: Multiple sequence alignment is fundamental. Exponential growth in computation time appears to be inevitable when an optimal alignment is required for many sequences. E...
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

: Kriging-based exploration strategies often rely on a single Ordinary Kriging model which parametric covariance kernel is selected a priori or on the basis of an initial data set....
—The most pervasive compute operation carried out in almost all bioinformatics applications is pairwise sequence homology detection (or sequence alignment). Due to exponentially ...
We consider k-median clustering in finite metric spaces and k-means clustering in Euclidean spaces, in the setting where k is part of the input (not a constant). For the k-means pr...
